The STANDARD will continue to
run as heretofore. We shall aim to
improve the paper as we go along,
and shall give to the people a paper
that will prove a profitable visitor in
every household where it is taken.
The STANDARD will of course con-
tinue advocate the principles Of the
Republican party, and in addition
will take the strongest ground in the
matter of Temperance and Christi
anity Of any paper in Southern Ohio.
The record of the paper warrants us
in saying as much. But let the paper
speak for itself. Every body who is not
taking it should subscribe at once.

If there is anything in the way of
booms floating around through the
air this year, there is good sized
John Sherman boom on the move.
Mr.. Sherman's reception in the South
has been most cordial, and everywhere
evidences Of his popularity were man.
Tested. Of course, he could expect
nothing from the South in the way of
political support, but his popularity
as a Presidential candidate seems to be
greater in. the North than any other
man. We blieve John Sherman can
come nearer ousting Mr.. Cleveland
than any other man in the country.
Let's try the great Ohioan this year.

short crop of last year and the consequent
scarcity of money make it very hard on
persons whose homes are sold to satisfy
their creditors. Be it said to the credit
of the moneyed men of our city and
county, however, that many of them have
been noticeably lenient towards their
debtors, carrying over accounts and rotes
and holding mortgages from year to year
until forced by circumstances to close up,
in spite of their sympathy and regard for
the unfortunate sufferers.
Considering the large crowd, the day
passed eff quietly. The barrooms were
closed, and, though it was good day for
drinks where one is at all addicted TO the
habit, no doubt many a one went away
without his accustomed eyeopener. l
heard of but one man who gave evidence
of having succe sslully run the blockade,

ceptionable. One Of the barkeepers de-
clared that their plan was 10 neither sell
nor give away any whisky to-day, and by
that;means to so disgust the countrymen
with prohibition that does prohibit as
to give them an easy and overwhelming
victory in the great county Prohibition
fight next August.
Though the greater part of the day
was spent by many in vain endeavor to
satisfy the thirst that comes with chilling
cold weather, the leading topic for dis.
cussion on the street was Senator Muir
rays new road law for Anderson County.
The law meets with outspoken opposi-
ton, and the Senator himself is the sub
ject of the bitterest vituperation. Not
less than half dozen papers are circu'
lated in 80 many sections of the county,
setting forth the hardships entailed upon
the farmers by the requirements of the
new law, and petitioning the county
commissioners not 10 enforce the law.
What the leaders of the opposition
movement can expect from such queer
course of procedure we know not, but
the petitions are certainly in existence
and are numerously signed. In spite OF
all the abuse that is heaped upon Senator
Murray be stands unmoved, and says all
he asks is trial of one year to vindicate
the wisdom of the law in question.-C0r'

Alleged Remedy for Epizootic.

Epizootic has been raging in the De-
partment of Bolivar on the Atlantic coast
of Colombia, where it has killed thou.
sands of cattle. A remedy which has
been employed there with great success
is thus described: "The animal must be
properly bled by making au iucision in
the principal vein of the neck, and while
the blood continues to exude, the animal
must be bathed with cold water, and a
drencb, consisting goffour ounces table salt
and ten ounces of lime juice, must be
administered, to be followed by a large
quantity of cold water. Three or four
hours afterwards second bath must be
given the animal, and soon afterwards it
will be found to show evidences of reviv.
ing vitality. About three pounds Of
blood should be taken from the animal.
The bath must be repeated about four
hours after the first application and again
on the following day, when a bucket of
salt water should be given it to drink, and
within .ery few days complete cure
will have been effected" Should this
report prove correct this discovery will
prove boon to cattle farmers.

No Drinks and Good Roads.

ANDERSON, January AT the regu-
lar meeting of the county commissioners
to-day Senator Murray's road law, which
has created such sensation in the
county. was discussed and the new duties
it imposes upon the commissioners care
fully examined. Mr.. Murray was request.
ed to appear before the board and explain
the law in detail, which he did clearly
and to the satisfaction of the commission
ers, at the same time assuring them that
if they would enforce the law in every
particular he would cheerfully bear all
the censure arising therefrom. After
hearing it explained the commissioners
declared their purpose to spare no pains
to give it thorough test.
There can be no doubt that some
change in the road law, so far as Ander-
son is concerned, was needed, and badly
needed. After the heavy freezes we are
now passing through, many roads over
the red hills of this county will be i'm.
passab lie; many are now impossible with
anything like aloaded vehicle. Farmers
will very soon begin to haul of their
fertilizers and supplies. With the roads
in such a condition as the severe weather
of this winter will leave them in, the
wear and tear on stock will cost the
owners more than the time and labor
required by the new law will be worth
to them.
Notwithstanding line bitter cold Of to.
day, the streets were crowded with repre-
sentatives from every section of the coun-
ty. A considerable quanty of real estate
was sold, some of it at low figures. The

A PerilOlls Cruise,

LOUISVILLE, KY, January 5.-John
Grigsby, the nineteen-year-old son of E.
H. Grigsby, went skating last evening
with party of friends on the Ohio River
at Westpost, town about twenty-five
miles up the river from here. He ven.
tured too near the outer edge of the ice,
when great cracking was heard, and the
portion upon which he was standing
broke loose and foatsd away.

two miles of this city, distance of twen-

men $40 each to 60 out in q skiff and

good, that an Agricultural College WIS
not needed, and that they were failures
where they had been tried, and that kind
of assertion defeated the resolution by
majority Of three votes. From the posi-
ton taken by these Senators, it is not
strange that the agricultural interests did
not fare as we'll as they should have done
if the farmers themselves had not divided.
Even if the majority of the lawyers
voted againsh the agricultural measures,
they caunot be properly censured as
class, when they simply followed the
lead of the representatives ofthe farmers
themselves. We think Capt. Tillman
should not complain of the lawyers, but
bring influences to bear on the repre-
sentative farmers of the Senate to induce
them to properly represent tho class to
which they belong.

Acid Phosphate, for instance, giving an

loss of 1924 an acre annually, with cot

revelations to the con6ding purchaser,
but they are near the truth. 1T is not
intimated that the Ashley goods are in
any way inferior to those made by others.
1t is likely they were selected because OF
their admitted excellence. 1t would
have been more desirable had the natural
soil been less productive, approximating
more nearly the average farns of the
country in fertility, but it is conceded
generally that manures pay best on land

Tie Hand of God.

DOUGLAS, Ga, January 6.-"1 hope
that God may paralyze me" were the
words spoken by William Burkett. At
once his hands dropped to his side, his
legs refused to move, and his eyes rolled
wildly around. His prayer was answered
as he stood psralyzed on the spot where
but a few moments before he Was a mag
ni6cent type of physical manhood, He
tried to speak, but his tongue would not
move. Half dozen men, who were
present, were rendered motionless by the
evident visitation Of the hand OF God.
When they recovered self-possession they
tenderly moved the afflicted man to bis
residence, half mile distant. When
Miss Rhody Burkett saw the plight in
which her father was brought home, she
screamed and tainted and died few days
later.
For years Mr.. Burkett had been the
ferryman at the Hawkinsville road cross
ing of the Ocmulgee River. He was of
giant physique, with long gray locks,
and became especially noted because of
the brace of revolvers which he kept
strapped to his waist. He was great
hunter, and tie ferry being in the midst
of swamp ae was convenient to an
abundance of game. From those who
lived around him it is learned that he
was fearfully profane. Whenever he
sighted game and was called off from it
by an alarm from the ferry, he would
pour out such a volley of oaths as would
make the flesh Of ordinary men crawl.
1t was while in one of these profane spells
that he cursed his Creator, and wound
up with the expression above quoted.
The news soon spread through the
country, and scores of people called to
see the victim. he was at first complete
ly prostrated, bu, subsequently, was ena-
bled to ia ke few steps, when he would
fall. When spoken 10 he replies in an
inarticulate humble, and acts. in the
most idiotic manner. The physicians
can ascribe no natural cause for his affiic-
ton, but admit that it is visitation of
God. The preachers in the neighborhood
have used the incident in their sermons
with great effect.

the farmers were most deeply interested,

The matter has been thoroughly discuss.

lawmakers alone needed ''more time to

To the Editor of the NeaOs and Courier
Your editorial in the Nsws and Courier
of December "a, headed "The same Old
Trouble" is in the main just and appro-
pirate, but at the same time it is mis-
leading. For instance, speaking of the
bills enanating from the Farmers Con-
ventioD, and which have been either
postponed, amended out of all shape or
slaug ghtered outright in the Senate, you
say:
"Who is responsible We need not say.
The Senators will be prepared, of course,
to explain their action to their constitu-
ents when the proper time comes, and
they will doubtless be given the opportu-
nifty. But whatever their reason, good
or bad, the fact remains that the quarrel
of the farmers. if they have any,.is with
their own representatives. The non
agricultural members of the General
Assembly have been willing and ready,
as they have abundantly shown, to grant
every request and adopt every plan which
the farmers should agree upon for the
advancement of their peculiar interest,
and to give to them the control of their
peculiar affairs. The failure is chargea-
BILE to the men whom they have selected
and elected to carry on their plans, and the
settlement must be had with those who
are responsible for the failure"
You may rest assured that they will be-
"given the opportunity to explain" and
that settlement will be had" with some
of them when again the farmers get
chance. If the farmers movement"
which has created such a stir among the
people, is really demand of the masses
for reform, and the correction of abuses,
and an expression of desire to see our
rights as farmers respected, it will con-
tinue to grow and spread, rather than
dwindle and die, and will have much to
do with shaping the future policy and
politics of this State. But let that be as
it may only set out to show that, while
correct as to the House, your editorial is
calculated to mislead when you say the
farmers in the Senate are alone to blame.
And in order to make this clear I will
show the complexion of our present Sen
ate as regards occupation. It is COM
posed as follows:

Newspaper Consolidation.

GREENv1LLE, S. c., Jan. 3.-The edi-
torial of the Sundays Me'cs announces
the consolidation of the Greenville Neacs
and the Cotton Plant, owned by ]. McKer-
all, of Marion, s. C. The Neacs says:
have confident hope that the part
nership between Mr.. McKerall and my
self, and between to Cotton Plant and
the Meacs, will be in every way advan.
tageous for both men and both newspa-
pers. Mr.. Mclzerall is a trained aud
successful journalist, and will bring into
the News office knowledge, brains and
energy, which will help in every depart
ment. We will work together hopefully
and constantly for the development OF
our enterprise and the general advance.
ment of our State and community, and
will try to deserve the continuance of the
liberal support have received.
The Cotton Pl,snt is the only agrjcultu-
raj paper, devoted entirely TO the inter-
est of the farmer, in the State. 1t was
established in Marion three years and
half ago, and literally filled q long felt
want. Its wonderful cheapness and its
unquestionable value commended it to
the public and especially to the farmers.
It is successful aud firmly established,
and we have every reason to believe that
its remarkable growth will be continued
here with increased rapidity. It's policy
of holding aloof from political questions
and con6ning its editoria! scope strictly
to the farm will be maintained. With
the amalgamatiou of the two offices the
Job departm ent and general facilities of
the Neacs will be increased. New
presses, new material of every kind and
steam will be put in. The Office will he
prepared for any work.
